Former Nottingham Forest defender James Perch says England boss Thomas Tuchel "can't ignore Morgan Gibbs-White too much longer" after the midfielder's "incredible" season for the club.
In all competitions, Gibbs-White has scored 15 goals and registered five assists - the fifth best of any player in the Premier League this campaign.
However, Gibbs-White was not included in Tuchel's recent 35-man squad for the friendlies with Uruguay and Japan and is down the pecking order for England's number 10s.
"I was one of those people that said he's a good player, but questioned whether he scores enough goals because he gets into good positions but doesn't always make the most of it," Perch told BBC Radio Nottingham. "But you can't argue with his numbers this season as 15 goals is brilliant.
"He also gets back and helps defensively so I can't heap enough praise on him. He has been unbelievable.
"He turns up in the big games and he can win games on his own. For an England call-up you have to ask whether he is doing more than Cole Palmer? And the answer is, yes. Is he doing more than Phil Foden? Yes.
"I don't know why he's not getting a call-up because he can't be doing any more than what he is doing.
"He's playing in a European semi-final and just won that game [against Burnley] with a hat-trick on his won. He is doing a lot more than some other number 10s.
Morgan Gibbs-White was not included in Thomas Tuchel's recent 35-man squad for friendlies against Uruguay and Japan, indicating he is lower in the selection order for England's number 10 position.
This season, Morgan Gibbs-White has scored 15 goals and provided five assists, making him one of the top performers in the Premier League.
James Perch stated that Thomas Tuchel 'can't ignore' Gibbs-White much longer due to his 'incredible' performance this season.

"I don't know if it is a bit late for him to get a call-up now but in my eyes he deserves it.
"All he can do is perform for his club - and that is what he is doing - and Tuchel can't ignore him for too much longer."
